    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

View attachment 909844I have decided to part with a pair of G. Platynota, Burmese Stars. They are very nice, growing beautifully, very healthy. The bigger one, 5 inches, TSF, looks female to me, is from Dr. Rosenoff in NC and the smaller one, 4 1/4 inches, TSF too, is from Ken in NY. Sexing is temperature set and are not guaranteed. I keep too many different species for the limited space and willing to cut down some of them.

Asking $3000.00 plus shipping for the pair.

SHIPPING : We ship FedEx Priority/UPS overnight to anywhere in the continental US.

GUARANTEE : Live arrival is guaranteed on all Tortoises! If there is any issue with the shipment or the animals, I must be notified immediately upon the animals arrival(One hour after UPS deliver to you). There are no other guarantees/warranties expressed or implied once you have taken possession and confirmed the animal(s) live and safe arrival. I am not responsible for mechanical failures, weather, mishandling by the carrier, or carrier delays that could void the live arrival guarantee.

The one on the right looks very strange for a platynota. The shape of the carapace is more radiata looking and the plastron isn't correct for a pure platynota. The legs have dark markings too, which is odd.
 
It is a pure platynota. By consequence, its plastron is correct for a pure platynota. Simply individual variation. Before people started pushing for more yellow years ago, more variation was more frequently observable.

Burmese stars

These BOTH are 110% Pure Burmese stars. Burmese vary ALOT in color. I have personally produced just a few over the last 14 plus years and I for one have produced some SUPER high yellow and some that were almost ALL black with little to no markings. Good luck in selling your Burmese Stars!!
